The current heat wave striking Southern California is really making me nostalgic for cooler temperatures. And since Californians never really experience a true winter… let’s throwback to the time my buddy Jenny Ong (Neon Blush) and I ran off to New York for Fashion Week earlier this year. I was in town for…
I picked up a GoPro late last year and started fiddling with the idea of recording my own behind the scenes from my point of view. After seeing Eric Kim share his street photography experiences through this medium I wanted to give it a go too. My goal with these POV Vlogs…
Greeting from the chilly lands of New York Fashion Week! I’ve been in the city for the last week attending my first fashion week with my dear friend Jenny Ong (Neon Blush) and doing a few shoots with clients –I can now add lugging c-stands and softboxes to my list…
Work work vs. personal work. It’s funny how when we refer to commissioned jobs we return to rudimentary childish terms. For example in school when you had a crush on someone you didn’t like them, you like like them. Anyways in a recent conversation I had with fellow photographer we…
I finally picked up a backpack for traveling: ONA’s Bolton Street Backpack. For my last few trips I’ve been borrowing friend’s Lowepro Fastpack 250, which although was completely functional and well built I wasn’t happy with.

Hah-zah! The first volume of Foundry is finally out! Foundry is a collaboration project between my friend Jenny Ong (neon blush). During the summer of 2012 we would often entertain the idea of creating ensemble portraits that would merge our interests of fashion, photography, and personalities. Near the end of the…
Last week I made a spontaneous trip up to San Francisco with Jenny Ong (neon blush). We left in the wee hours on Wednesday to get away from Los Angeles’ natural hustle and bustle congestive aura to find some relaxation and creative inspiration. Check out my photo diary from my phone, I shot…
Wowza! It’s February already! Guess time goes by quickly when you’re running around like a headless chicken. I’ve been keeping myself occupied by embarking a collaborative creative project with Jenny Ong (neon blush). Having worked together on a few small shoots in the past, this time we wanted to try…
My true happy is “My True Happy.” As I mentioned in an earlier post, I got to work on the album artwork for Arden Cho‘s debut EP “My True Happy.” This was a fun project because I got to collaborate with both Arden and Jenny Ong (neon blush) again and…
“I could go for some ice cream right now.” The sun was shining gorgeously behind my fashionable pal, it would have been a shame to not trip the shutter. — Jenny Ong – neon blush
I ran around Hollywood with Ally Maki the other night. We bumped into our pal Optimus Prime, then I taught her how to skate. — Talent: Ally Maki Styling by: Jenny Ong Photo Assistant: Moses Pan
